Procedure for Selecting Honors Visitors
1. The honors advisor, in consultation with the honors student, will ask one tenured faculty member from outside the student's major department or program to serve as the honors visitor representing the CCI. For interdepartmental theses, the visitor should not reside in the same department/program as the advisor of the honors thesis. A list of tenured faculty members who have expressed interest in serving as an honors visitor will be available in March 2008. However, any tenured faculty member may serve as the honors visitor and students are not restricted to the names on this list.
2. Once the faculty member has agreed to serve as the CCI-designated visitor, the honors advisor should provide Jennifer Lewis (email jlewis) with the following information by Tuesday, April 15:
a) the visitor’s name and department/program
b) the student’s name
c) the name of the major department/program in which student is registered for 370 Honors Thesis
3. The honors advisor will continue to be responsible for scheduling the honors oral exam at a time convenient for both the student and the entire examining committee during reading period, Thursday, May 8 and Monday, May 12, 2008.
4. Please inform the honors visitor that she/he is responsible for both picking up the visitor's copy of the thesis and honors form and after completion of the oral exam, returning them to Jennifer Lewis, Green Hall, Room 336.
